AN IMAGING SCIENTIST IS...

Meet the scientists who are advancing global science through technical skill and biological knowledge.

This is an incredibly exciting time to be an imaging scientist. Technology and new solutions are evolving faster than ever.

Ask anyone in the field, and they’ll tell you about the amazing technological and scientific advances being done in their labs, in their facilities and all over the world.

Through this project, you will discover why imaging scientists are just so essential for the future of scientific discovery, what motivates them, the challenges and opportunities they face and who these Imaging Scientists are.

We hope you enjoy meeting and learning about our Imaging Scientists.

People of Imaging

An imaging scientist has excellent imaging and analytical skills. I think that analytical skills are as important as imaging skills.

Tatsiana Molchan
Advanced Technologist NSG Group

So I'm training new PhD students making sure that they are getting sensible and useful data that would help them with their projects.

Zabeada Aslam
Research Officer University of Leeds

A good day at work is when I can sit with some users at the microscope, and they say 'wow' this is a good image.

Andreas Bruckbauer
Facility Manager Imperial College London

An imaging scientist is used to seeing things that no one else sees.

Liam Dwyer
Advanced Technologist NSG Group

It's a great opportunity to learn new things because I have never worked with glass before. I have now been at NSG for about three years.

Recognising and Celebrating Imaging Scientists

We explore who ‘imaging scientists’ are, their contribution to science and the opportunities and challenges they face day-to-day in using imaging to answer scientific questions.

Rapid developments in imaging technology are enabling new scientific discoveries but requires expert Imaging Scientists to ensure technical capabilities are matched to requirements and goals of experiments.
